80th Birthday gathering…80th Birthday gatheringWW…
1 / 5
We booked this house to celebrate our mum’s 80th birthday. It wasn’t cheap and it wasn’t the most expensive either and the pictures presented a good looking house and pool. The guests included three sisters and our partners and mum. Upon arrival the house looked great with large wooden doors at the front. Open the doors to reveal the pool area furniture. The lounge was draped with a dirty mattress protector and a very dirty towel. We guess the cleaner left it behind. Just a couple of metres from the front door is a bucket almost full of water. It was catching drips from a small pipe extruding from the ceiling above. We emptied this bucket hundreds of times during our stay. This could have been fixed with a small hose attachment running into the pool or into the garden.
We entered the house and it was hot, very hot. We found the ducted air conditioner control and with hardly visible numbers on the dial, it was a matter of trial and error to work out which was the coolest setting. Some instructions and markings would have been helpful.
Lots of rooms to choose from with mum taking the upstairs room with it’s own individual air conditioning unit. Only the roadside front bedroom has the benefit of the ducted air conditioning. The remainder of the bedrooms had fans, some of which just didn’t work and all of them were very dirty. The beds were all old and extremely uncomfortable, one with wire extruding.
The kitchen had all the pots and pans etc that we needed, but no welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk etc. No tea towels, paper towels, garbage bags, dishwashing liquid, laundry detergent, minimal toilet paper. Given we had booked for a week, it was disappointing that nothing had been provided. There were a few grocery items that had been left by previous occupants, we guessed.
The pool and front deck were great given how hot it was inside and out. The ‘please clean after use’ barbeque had a nice clean grill, but about an inch of fat sitting in the base. We cleaned it thoroughly before we left.
The CD player could not be made to work and we had a few tech heads amongst us. There were DVD’s provided but the player was dirty and kept stopping throughout the movie making it impossible to enjoy and we didn’t get to finish a movie.
When drying our towels in the clothes dryer, the dryer slipped onto a dangerous angle so it was only secured by one hook on the wall. If it had fallen off completely, someone could have been hurt ba…We booked this house to celebrate our mum’s 80th birthday.
